Congratulations to both Michelle and family who has helped and guided her during these challenging years. She certainly doesn’t recall 16 years ago, but I’m certain as her mother, family, and friends you’ll never forget those life-altering days when you held onto her hands in hopes she’d just live! And continued to do so for the next 16 years, ongoing.

She’s grateful to all those who continue to care. This is the true meaning of love … regardless of what happens in life you are there for that person! Especially a mother’s love for her daughter. No one can understand the difficulty of this journey as a caregiver or survivor unless you’ve been there yet each situation is different.

Thanks to both Michelle and Marilyn to demonstrate what teamwork is! Through the ongoing ups and downs and sleepless nights you are both teaching the world. Take care and stay safe, Edie

Congratulations . We are so inspired by your perseverance, endurance, patience, hope and most importantly …your faith….Michelle & family .
We just celebrated 4 years with our son, Aek . He , we thank God every day for what we DO have, while hoping & believing for more recovery. ” Over the Waterfall ” is a must read and I refer to it still for encouragement . Faith, hope
& love get us all through , right? ….and the greatest of these is love, despite how ii all feels .

Be blessed & thank you for the gift of sharing your story …continually .

Over The Waterfall

Where does one find meaning when one's witty, intelligent, beautiful daughter is hit by a car while a senior at one of the country's most prestigious universities and lies unconscious for close to eight months only to emerge severely brain injured?
